About this conference

The UF Water Institute and Duke Energy invite participants to the 10th biennial UF Water Institute Symposium, a three-day event exploring critical and challenging water issues. This symposium aims to bring together individuals from a broad range of disciplines and organizations to address water issues across geographical and temporal scales. The 2026 Symposium will focus on innovative advances in science, technology, art, education, communication, policy, and management to tackle pressing water challenges. Key themes include: Water Quality Drivers and Impacts on Public, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health; Water Scarcity, Allocation and Reuse; Building Resilience to Extreme Events, Climate and Sea Level Rise; Hydroecologic Connections across the Land-Sea Continuum; Water, People and Policy; Intersecting Science, Community Perspectives, and Decision-Making; Education, Technology and Decision Tools for Improved Water Management; and AI/Machine Learning, Big Data and Convergent Science for Water Systems.

Sponsorship not only elevates an organization but also directly supports participation by helping to subsidize registration costs for students and others.
